2025 Biennial Honors in DC

At the 2025 Biennial Sessions in Washington D.C., our Valley was well represented and recognized with great distinction.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Illustrious David Martirez Ferreria, who was coroneted a 33° Inspector General Honorary, the highest distinction within the Scottish Rite. His dedication, leadership, and service to the Craft have earned him this esteemed recognition.

We are also pleased to announce that Brothers Henry Azinfar, 32° and Sam House, 32° have been selected to receive the rank and dignity of Knight Commander of the Court of Honour (KCCH). Their investiture will take place later this September, marking a significant milestone in their Masonic journey.

This Biennial was especially meaningful for California, as our own Most Worshipful Arthur L. Salazar, Jr. 33°, Grand Master of Masons in California, was recently appointed Deputy of the Supreme Council in California. His leadership exemplifies the unity of the Craft and the Scottish Rite working hand in hand for the betterment of our Fraternity.

These honors highlight the strength of our Valley and the devotion of our members to the Scottish Rite and the greater Masonic fraternity. We are proud to celebrate these achievements and the shining example our Brethren set for us all.
